Parents of children 5-11 years of age are invited to an online social media livestream to ask questions about preparing their kids for their COVID-19 needle. The livestream on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube will begin at 5 p.m. on Nov. 24 and is sponsored by the Maltby Centre and KFL&A Public Health.
The approval of COVID-19 vaccines for children 5-11 years of age will happen soon, and parents may have questions.
- How can I prepare my kids for their needle?
- What if they are worried?
- What if they have autism?
During the livestream, questions will be answered in real time from the Maltby Centre’s experts in children’s mental health and autism as well as KFL&A Public Health’s medical officer of health.
